Violone bows 2024

8 January 2024Non classéarchet de violone, archet de violone en sol, archet viole, violone, violone bow, violone in D, violone in GCoen Engelhard

Violone bows can be quite different in length and in weight. Coming from the viol we could tend to chose a longer bow with not too much weight. Where coming from the double bass we could tend to chose a shorter, maybe heavier, bow. Also depending if we play a Violone in G or in D of course.
The Acacia wood makes the thick gut strings sound easily, the Service wood gives a more noble sound. Don’t hesitate to ask for the dimensions you would like to have.
The following bows are available at this moment :

Leatherwood Rosin

12 January 2023Non classébass rosin, leatherwood, rosin, violoneCoen Engelhard

Leatherwood Bespoke Rosin is made in Australia by a small but passionate company producing premium rosin for all bowed instruments. There is a great choice of texture and adherence. The intention is to work together with musicians to make the rosin they really would like to have.

The rosin shown here has been developed recently for the G Violone. It works really well, as do the others I use for the cello, viol and double bass. In fact, I don’t use other rosins anymore …

Octobass bow

Acacia bows make big instruments sound very easily. The Octobass is the biggest, so I took the challenge to make a bow for it. Please let me know if you would like to try it. Oups, there are only a handfull of Octobasses in the world ?

La vara está fabricada en madera de Robinia, más conocido como Acacia y la nuez en madera de boj, olivo o ébano.

La madera de Acacia que Coen utiliza para hacer sus arcos proviene de los bosques donde vive en la zona de Pirineos de Ariège. El nombre latino de éste tipo de madera es Robinia pseudoacacia. Es una madera de gran resistencia que proporciona un sonido directo y hace vibrar las cuerdas fácilmente resultando en una articulación muy natural.

Facebook Bassists comments

1 August 2019Non classéCoen Engelhard

Recently some interesting comments were posted on Facebook concerning the double bass bows :

Lisa Mezzacappa : I discovered Coen’s bows at a bass conference in Italy last year and a few of us (Kiyoe Kaimana Delphine Wellington, Cody Takács, Kyle Motl) new music-improviser bassists really fell in love with his design – lightweight, balanced, comfortable grip, and plays really loud and clear – really grabs the strings. No ivory, made from sustainable wood, and as he says, “indestructible.” Also super affordable.

Brandon Lopez : The design is just-fucking-great, beautiful craftsmanship and they sound fantastic.

Gaël McKeon They sound excellent! He lives an hour from me, and came to my shop in Toulouse. These bows are quite a surprise. A good healthy blow to the status quo and the pernambuco fetish.
